I just wanted to take the time to thank you for such a great wedding! Everyone is still talking about you guys and how amazing you guys were at the wedding!! You had so many people on the dance floor and really helped bring our wedding celebration to the next level. We appreciate you playing our first dance as well and by the number of people in tears, you really touched them too! We had a lot of people from Ontario at our wedding and I wish you could hear their feedback especially about how you guys east coast music too! They are now hooked! We had so much fun and I am really grateful you guys played at our wedding! We feel so lucky! It was perfect!! Thanks again and take care.

I first heard Mac and Hawes play at a friends wedding and they were amazing; so amazing in fact that when I got engaged, I knew exactly who I wanted to play at our wedding (I didn't even talk to another band or DJ). Ryan was amazing throughout the entire process; he was always quick to reply to emails and answer questions (something I was very grateful for as I was planning an East Coast wedding from Ontario). They looked after getting everything set up on the day of the wedding (I didn't have to worry about anything related to AV) and they had everyone on the dance floor all night long. After the wedding - and still to this day 3 months later - everyone tells me that one of the best parts of the day was the band at the reception. We could not have asked for a better experience - thanks again, guys!

We hosted our recent national professional development conference in Halifax and had the pleasure of having The Mac & Hawes Band as our entertainment for the evening. They played a wide variety of music that ensured everyone had the opportunity to enjoy some time on the dance floor. They took requests from the delegates and made it very interactive and very enjoyable. We have not seen such participation from our delegates at past conferences where we had live entertainment at the gala. If you are looking for professional musicians who are passionate, talented and most entertaining then choose Mac & Hawes for your next corporate event. You will not be disappointed!
